| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays the papal motto FRVSTRA VIGILAT QVI CVSTODIT (from Psalm 127:1, meaning 'In vain does the guard keep watch') inscribed in four bold lines across the central field, executed in an upright Roman capital lettering style characteristic of Baroque papal coinage. The inscription is framed within an elaborate cartouche formed by symmetrical acanthus and foliate Baroque scrollwork. At the top of the cartouche, a grotesque mask or cherub face serves as a decorative keystone element, while at the base a papal tiara device appears as a further heraldic ornament. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Clement XII — born Lorenzo Corsini, elected in 1730 at age 78 — was almost entirely blind by the time this half piastra was struck, governing from his bed for much of his pontificate. The legend FRVSTRA VIGILAT QVI CVSTODIT, drawn from Psalm 127, carries an unintended irony: the man who "watches" over the Papal States could barely see at all. Administration fell largely to his nephew Neri Corsini, whose influence over Vatican affairs drew persistent criticism from the College of Cardinals.
The 1734–35 dating spans the War of Polish Succession's final convulsions in Italy, when Spanish Bourbon forces moved through papal territory largely unopposed.
